While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention. Like reference numerals are used for like elements in describing each drawing.

It is to be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected or connected to the other element, . On the other hand, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another element, it should be understood that there are no other elements in between.

The terminology used in this application is used only to describe a specific embodiment and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

In the present application, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like are used to specify that there is a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a component or a combination thereof described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

The object in the present invention means an object of collecting body and behavior information, and it is sufficient for a human being, and the distinction between a man, a woman, a child, an elderly person, and an adult is meaningless. However, considering the fact that the object of the present invention is to continuously monitor the body and behavior of a specific object to provide it to a user and further provide an RF-free environment, the body and behavior in the present invention It is clear that a greater effect can be obtained when setting the target of information collection as infants, infants, elderly elderly, disabled, patients, etc.

In view of the fact that one of the objects of the present invention can form a space for electromagnetic wave free space, a space in which some components of the body and behavior information collection and supply apparatus of the present invention are installed can be divided into a space It is required to be a separate space, but it does not have to be an enclosed space. A general house room, a hospital room, and the like, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, each component of the present invention will be described in detail below.

The sensing unit includes at least one sensor and an audio output module.

The sensor senses the body or behavior of the subject and generates a body signal or a behavior signal. The body signal refers to biological information measurable from the subject's body, and may be pulse, body temperature, electrocardiogram, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc., but is not limited thereto. The sensor for collecting such a body signal may be a sensor specialized in a corresponding function such as a heart sensor, a body temperature sensor, an electrocardiogram sensor, a blood glucose sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, a thermal camera sensor, a temperature sensor (body temperature sensor) , A pressure sensor having a general purpose, etc., are not used to exclude measurement of heart rate, blood pressure, and the like. Of course, it is also possible to detect the subject's breathing, breathing, etc. by detecting the movement of the abdomen due to breathing using a laser Doppler vibration system or the like. In addition, the position of attachment or attachment of the sensor will depend on the kind of the body signal or the behavior signal, and it can be directly attached to the measurement part of the body, but according to the sensor configuration, have. For example, in the case of the body temperature sensor, when the infrared heat sensing method is used, the body temperature sensor can be installed apart from the measurement part of the body.

Further, it is possible to generate an image image that displays the body temperature distribution of each part of the body by using a thermal imaging camera or the like as a sensor. At this time, the image image is displayed in different colors according to the intervals of the temperature. By processing the image image, not only the temperature of each part of the body can be specified, but also the behavior to be described later - for example, lying on the side, - will be able to identify. However, in the case where the thermal imaging camera or the like is to be used as a sensor, it may be necessary to further include an image image processor that processes the image image to extract the temperature value or to calculate the behavior information, The output will be input to the audio output module described below.

In addition, as the sensor, it is possible to use a laser Doppler blood flow system, an ultrasonic blood vessel monitor, an electronic blood flow system, an ultrasonic blood flow system, a laser blood flow system, a magnetic resonance blood flow system, a blood flow system, a cerebral blood flow system, a thermal dilution cardiac output system, Blood pressure monitor, blood pressure monitor, pulse wave meter, pulse wave meter, radioisotope cardiac output meter, colorimetric dilution cardiac output meter, bladder pressure meter, disposable urine flow volume meter, reusable urine flow volume meter, incontinence diagnostic device, Cuff, urine chemical analyzer, urine density meter, fecal analyzer, body fluid analyzer, gastric acidity measuring device, body fluid viscometer, centrometer, airway pressure monitor, sleep evaluation device, intracranial pressure gauge, intracranial pressure monitor, thoracic pressure gauge, Ultrasonic Pulse Diagnostic System, Diagnostic Spirometer, Rotational Spirometer, Spirometer, Nasal Anemometer, Intake Air Pressure Monitor, Oxygen Intake Calculator, Pulmonary Pulmonary Volume A device having a specific function such as a volume variation meter, a breathing resistance meter, an apnea meter, an EMG meter, a nerve conduction velocity meter, a skin potential meter, a rigidity analyzer, and an oxygen saturation meter can be applied.

The behavior signal is a signal containing a context related to a change in an object's motion and posture, and can be estimated by measuring a change in the acceleration of the subject's body. As the sensor used at this time, not only a general acceleration sensor but also a gyro sensor or the like can be applied. The installation position of the sensor may be considered to be directly attached to the subject's body, but it is not excluded that the sensor is attached to a device such as a bed or a cradle in which the subject is located. Such a sensor can provide information about the pattern of motion of the subject-for example, determining whether the subject is lying in a posture for a long time, severely coughing, and the like.

One or more sensors may be provided, and one or more sensors of the same kind may be provided, or a plurality of sensors of different types may be provided.

The voice output module converts a body signal or a behavior signal input from the at least one sensor and transmitted in the form of an electric signal into a voice signal and outputs the voice signal to a predetermined space in which the subject is located.

The audio signal may belong to the audible band (generally below 20 kHz) or to the non-audible band (ultrasound). The frequency of the voice signal of the present invention is set to be 20 Hz or more and 100 kHz or less. However, since the sensing unit of the present invention is to be installed in an area in contact with or close to the object, it causes discomfort, The frequency that can be done should be excluded. Although it may be preferable to use a sound signal in the ultrasonic band, it is considered that, depending on the subject, there is a research result that a person feels comfortable with a sound wave having a specific frequency belonging to the audio frequency band. That is, a configuration in which the frequency of a voice signal can be set differently according to an application target can be adopted.

In addition, when the frequency of a voice signal used in the present invention is selected in a frequency band such as a mosquito that resides in the area, the pest control function can be additionally provided.

Considering that a voice signal intensity (intensity) is intended to be output from a voice output module and propagate to a predetermined space where a subject is located to reach a voice receiving module, the voice output module and the voice receiving module And the sensitivity of the voice receiving module. The larger the distance between the audio output module and the voice receiving module, the larger the size of the voice signal. The smaller the sensitivity of the voice receiving module, the larger the size of the voice signal. However, it should be taken into consideration that the object may feel uncomfortable when the size of the voice signal becomes unnecessarily large.

The voice output module may be a speaker or a loudspeaker having a function of converting an electric signal into a voice signal (sound wave). The conversion principle includes a coin type, an electromagnetic type, an electrostatic type, an dielectric type, a magnetostrictive type, A known speaker or the like can be used.

When a voice signal current flows through a coil (voice coil) in a magnetic field of a permanent magnet, a mechanical force acts on the coil to generate motion according to the intensity of the current. In the electromagnetic type, a negative current flows through the coil installed at the end of the permanent magnet to vibrate the iron piece between the coils. The vibration is transmitted to the diaphragm by the lever to radiate sound. Consideration should be given that the handling is simple, but the high-frequency characteristics (high-frequency characteristics) are poor and the distortion is large. Electrostatic type is sometimes used for high sound, and dielectric type and magnetostrictive type are used in ultrasonic range of 20 kHz or more instead of audible frequency. And, among the speakers for audio frequency, it is called a tweeter, especially for the high frequency band (10 kHz or more), and the weight of the vibration system is small.

The voice output module must receive the electric signal transmitted from the sensing unit and convert it into a voice current and input the voice current to the sound wave generating unit inside the voice output module. It is preferable that the audio output module is miniaturized.

The communication hub includes a voice receiving module for receiving a voice signal transmitted to a predetermined space in which a subject is located, and a communication module for receiving a voice signal received by the voice receiving module and generating a communication signal .

In addition, since the voice signal output from the voice output module installed in the predetermined space in which the subject is located must be received, the communication hub unit is preferably installed in the same space as the space in which the voice output module is installed.

The voice receiving module may be a microphone and performs a function of converting an audible sound into an electric energy (electric signal), and both a dynamic method and a condenser method can be applied.

In the dynamic method, the diaphragm membrane is connected to the coil and the permanent magnet is provided inside the coil. When the vibration of the air generated when sound is generated in the sound source vibrates the diaphragm membrane, the coil connected thereto vibrates together. Is generated inside the magnetic field due to the permanent magnet, the principle that the current is generated by the Fleming's left-hand rule is used. The condenser system uses not only physical vibration but also a principle in which a change in capacitance caused by widening and narrowing of a capacitor due to the vibration of air in a state where a voltage is applied to the diaphragm is converted into an electric signal. The dynamic method has durability against shock and humidity, and the condenser method is sensitive, so it is possible to realize a delicate sound source.

The voice receiving module may include an amplifier for amplifying the magnitude of the received voice signal and a converter for digitizing the received voice signal. The voice receiving module performs a preprocessing function such as removing noise of the received voice signal The present invention is not limited thereto.

With respect to the sensitivity of the voice receiving module, if the sensitivity is high, it is possible to increase the installation distance between the voice output module for outputting voice signals and the voice receiving module, but it is also possible to collect external noise, May be required.

The sound receiving module may be used for collecting additional sound generated by the object or sound generated in the predetermined space and providing the collected sound to the user. The sound generated directly by the object or the sound generated in the predetermined space is not the information collected from the sensing unit described above and therefore strictly does not correspond to the body information or the behavior information, In addition, it is considered that a user located at a remote location may serve as additional information for determining the body or behavior of the subject. In this case, the communication module to be described later must separate these signals and transmit them together. On the side receiving these signals, it is necessary to distinguish and utilize these signals separately. Will be described later.

The communication module performs a function of receiving a voice signal received by the voice receiving module and generating a communication signal (as an object of communication with a later-described information provision interface unit). In the present invention, the communication module is limited to a wired communication system.

The communication method applicable to the communication module is preferably any one of Ethernet, USB, Power Line Communication, Telephone Line Communication, RS232, RS422, and RS485. It is possible to apply a configuration configured to implement wired communication, or to apply a commercialized product. In the configuration in which the communication module is included in the communication hub portion, an output port corresponding to the adopted communication method may be provided in the case of the communication hub portion or the like.

The Ethernet is also referred to as a LAN (LAN), and is a technology according to the IEEE 802.3v standard. It is fast, has high reliability and reliability, and is relatively inexpensive to install. You can install an ethernet card or Ethernet modem, or embed ethernet to implement the device configuration.

USB is a type of serial port that offers plug and play capability, is inexpensive, allows port expansion per controller, and has the ability to power the device on its own.

Power Line Communication (PLC) is a communication method that transmits information by transmitting information on the power line waveform of a power line using a power line as a medium. It means that electric wiring scattered in the home is used as communication means, and communication can be done by connecting only plug to the existing power outlet. Power line communication is a technology for transmitting a high-frequency signal to a low-frequency power line signal of 50 Hz flowing through a power line. The communication line is converted into a high-frequency signal, and a signal is separately received using a high-frequency filter.

Telephone line communication (TLC) has the advantage that it can build a LAN environment without any additional equipment such as a hub or a router, and uses a conventional telephone line.

The information providing interface unit performs a first function of receiving a communication signal transmitted from a communication module provided in the communication hub unit, and a second function of processing the received communication signal to provide the user with body information or behavior information. Alternatively, a third function of providing the user with the application information generated by comparing the communication signal with the reference data may be further performed.

In order to implement the first function, the information providing interface unit may include the information providing interface unit communication module. Preferably, the information providing interface unit communication module implements the same communication method as the communication method implemented by the communication module provided in the communication hub unit. However, the information providing interface unit communication module and the communication module provided in the communication hub unit may be configured to implement different communication methods, which will be described later.

The second function has a purpose of providing the user directly or alerting the body information or behavior information visually, audibly, tactually, and smell. The information may be provided not only in real time but also in a manner of storing the information and providing it after the fact.

The body information or the behavior information means that the body signal or the behavior signal is processed to facilitate recognition or interpretation by the user and includes various types of graphs, texts, pictures, and the like. For example, if the infant is judged to be sleeping in a prone position through the pressure sensor, the user may be informed of the sleeping position by displaying the sleeping position on the screen. In the case of providing such information, the present state is objectively provided to the user, and it is said that the user directly decides what action the user who is provided with the information provides.

Examples of the interface that visually provides information include transmitting information in various formats such as text, pictures, and graphs on the display, activating multicolored warning lights, and controlling smart bulbs that can be individually controlled by using object Internet technology, (A pattern in which lighting and light extinction are repeated, and the like). However, the present invention is not limited to this example.

As an embodiment of an interface for providing information audibly, a siren, a guidance voice, or the like can be output through a speaker, but the present invention is not limited to this example.

As an embodiment of an interface that tactually provides information, it is possible that the diaphragm causes vibration to be generated by the user, and various other known configurations may be combined.

The information providing interface unit may be constituted by a unique device. In this case, the information providing interface unit may be equipped with various interface devices, for example, a display, a speaker, a warning light, and the like. However, the information providing interface unit may be implemented using a general personal computer, a console, or the like. In this case, a display, a speaker, and the like may utilize the information provided in the personal computer or the console.

It is preferable that the information providing interface unit is installed outside a predetermined space in which the object is located. This is because the object of the present invention is that the user- For example, caregivers, doctors, caregivers, parents, etc., do not have to monitor themselves in a way that directly examines their condition. Thereby, the information providing interface unit can be provided in an arbitrary space as long as it is a space outside the predetermined space where the object is located and has an environment capable of wired communication with the communication hub unit. The information providing interface unit may be a movable configuration or a fixed installation configuration.

The third function is a function of providing application information (alarm or guide line, etc.) generated by comparing the communication signal with the reference data. The third function is to perform a predetermined fact judgment and value judgment on the body information or the behavior information of the object while the second function described above communicates object information or behavior information of the object objectively to the user, And provide the results to the user. For example, if the infant is lean and slept for a predetermined period of time or longer, an alarm / alarm may be generated to induce the user to take appropriate action such as changing the infant's posture. In another embodiment, an alert can be generated if the patient severely coughs and the measured value of the accelerometer worn by the patient is largely observed.

In order to implement the second function and the third function, the information providing interface unit may include a processor, and the processor at this time processes the input communication signal (body information or behavior information as contents thereof) (E.g., generating a drive signal related to a display device) that generates a signal suitable for the display device (e.g., a display device), a function of generating information (e.g., conversion to text or picture information) Of course, if a processor is not provided separately and a computer is used, the second function and the third function may be performed through a program operating through the computer.

The reference data is information individually and specifically set according to what body information or behavior information is adopted and may be pre-set by the manufacturer before departure, but it is also possible that the information provision interface unit has a predetermined user setting / , The user may input the reference value for each body information or behavior information. For example, if the infant wants to set the allowable time to 30 minutes for the infant sleeping time, the reference data will be " infant sleeping time: 30 minutes ", and the information providing interface unit The alarm signal can be provided to the user at a time when the corresponding condition exceeds 30 minutes. Such reference data may be stored in a memory to be referred to by a processor or the like.

One of the main objects of the present invention is to form an RF-free space inside a predetermined space in which the object is located. Therefore, in the present invention, the communication hub unit and the information providing interface unit are connected to a wired And perform transmission and reception by a communication method.

As described above, the communication hub unit and the information providing interface unit may be configured to implement various wired communication methods such as Ethernet, USB, Power Line Communication, Telephone Line Communication, RS232, RS422, and RS485 Configuration can be adopted. When the communication methods applied to the communication hub unit and the information providing interface unit are different, a converter can be used. For example, when an RS232 port is formed in the communication hub unit and an Ethernet port is formed in the information providing interface unit, an RS232 to Ethernet converter is applied to the communication hub unit, The actual communication will be done by the Ethernet method. Alternatively, when an RS232 to PLC (power line communication) converter is applied to the communication hub unit and an Ethernet to RS232 converter and an RS232 to PLC converter are applied to the information providing interface unit, the actual communication is performed by power line communication.

In the case where the sound receiving module of the communication hub unit detects and provides a sound generated directly by the object or a sound generated in a predetermined space in which the object is located, the information providing interface unit may further provide information related to these sounds. The information providing interface unit communication module should perform a process of separating a communication signal from a sound generated in a predetermined space where a sound / object directly generated by a target is located. However, if a sound / A specific user interface for receiving a request of a user for providing sound generated in a predetermined space, for example, a physical button and an additional function of a program.
